This convection / microwave was delivered 1 month ago. It is replacing a Samsung Over-The-Range convection / microwave. The Samsung was ridiculously noisy, had a weak vent fan, poor lighting, and very dim display but overall it did work pretty good. After 4 years of service it got donated to Habitat For Humanity (thanks for the tax write off). NOW I have the Electrolux convection / microwave. It was difficult to install. The holes and brackets from my previous microwave aren't in the same location. I understand that these are different brands but I've hung different microwave brands in the same location before and the mounts where pretty universal - not this time. The LED display on this device is just as dim as the one on my previous device. I guess NOBODY can create a display that's easily visible from more than 7 feet away.
Now here's where the Electrolux sets itself apart,,, it looks great, the lights are bright, and the vent fan actually works really well.The interior is all stainless steel with this cool diamond pattern. It looks really nice. When using the convection oven,,, the temperatures are accurate and it bakes to perfection. It is noisy too but nowhere near as screechy and obnoxious as the Samsung. It's just the nature of convection / microwaves to be a little loud. If anyone finds a quite one please let me know. As for the buttons,,, there ARE NO buttons. It's a flat touch panel just like your smart phone. Pushing hard on a number doesn't make it work. You have to gently apply a full fingerprint over the button to get it to work and you cannot be in a hurry. It takes a little getting used to but it's really not that big a deal.
This is an expensive device but it was worth it.

Works Great

I installed this ц-wave a few days ago. The install: came with two hole and mounting templates (one for the top and one for the back mount). The instructions were OK, but lacked actual measurements. In my experience the bottom portion of the back bracket to the top was 17", hope this will help others down the road. The unit is fairly heavy and used a small car jack and plywood boards sitting on the stove top and under the unit to assist on the install. The ovens operation: the touch panel is very sleek and does not need to be pushed, just put a finger over the function for a millisecond for operation. Very nice! Since there is a slight delay the panel can be cleaned without energizing the functions. The rotating platter is very big and a feature I like can be turned off and on. There are two lights and can be toggled on high, on low and off. Cooking: (a warning, open all windows and doors before using the convection oven, the first use is pretty stinky, smelling of ozone) The convection oven is fantastic and I like the choices of presets. The ц-wave function boiled one cup of water in 2 minutes and a big plus, was very quiet :). My first meal was a spinach quiche that used both ц-wave and convection settings and I was able to program in the times and concurrent operations. The meal turned out perfectly and a testament to the over all 5 star rating.

Are all Electrolux Microwave ovens faulty?

Posted 4 years ago

I had my first Electrolux Microwave (E130BM60MS) delivered on 10/3/14. Shortly after that the microwave oven would turn on by itself and run for 1 minute. There was no pattern and the number of times it could come on in a day varied. (an estimate would be about 40 times) After several attempts and 11 weeks to fix the problem, the microwave was replaced. I had to return the microwave to the store and buy the replacement - even with a service contract. The second microwave oven does something different. The casserole button turns on (and beeps) and there is a message to hit the scroll menu or a numeric key. Did I happen to get the only two Electrolux microwave ovens that have a problem? Or, do other people also have problems? I don't know what I should do. I called and asked the repairman to look into this for me. I haven't heard back yet. Do I want to go through 11 more weeks of Best Buy trying to repair this one before agreeing to replace it? Not very happy with my purchase.

best looking covection microwave made

Posted 4 years ago

The first oven had been damaged before it was packed for shipment in china. I could tell this because the bottom edge which is made of steel was crumpled but the packaging was perfect showing no signs of abuse or even the slightest damage. Best Buy.com was great with the exchange. Number two looked perfect and worked great except after you used the convection oven it would never turn off and it would turn itself on at random times for 50 seconds. Electrolux sent out a repairman the very next morning and he found, with the help of Electrolux tech support that it had issues and recomended i return it so i did. Number three arrived today and so far has been working fantastic. I love the looks of this oven and all its features
Because of the great customer support from Electrolux and the efficiency of BestBuy.com i would recommend this microwave even though I had issues

Great Microwave/Convection Oven!

We've owned 3 over-range microwaves and this is our first one that is also Convection. We love it! Larger than our previous ones and much quieter! Lights illuminating our Range are fantastic! Much better than previous units. We like that the control buttons are on the bottom, much easier for shorter folks to see but they are a bit hard to press to get them to do what you want it to do. Maybe they'll soften up with use...we'll see. We do wish the Countdown Timer (which we use quite often) would beep until we shut it off when the set moments have completed. It beeps several times and that's it. If we're not around when it beeps and forget to look to see if the countdown is complete, what we have it set for could get overcooked. Minor problem though...we'll just buy a separate timer at Wallyworld or BB&B.

I read the reviews, but since we have installed ours, we have had no problems.
The digital entry is a welcome method after using our GE Profile double oven front key-in electric range. The GE is easy to add or change with a little touch or bump. A stomach hanging over the keyboard cancels or changes settings, which we have learned to work with (I have lost weight). The GE also has a lockout setting to avoid this when it off.
The Microwave avoids all the extra work by having to one touch each key for about 1 second which is a nice touch solution. This is not a cell phone or computer keyboard and allows for accuracy. Understanding these features and getting used to them makes the microwave work extremely easy.
Everything works fine and based on the reviews, we did take out a five year maintenance agreement with the Geek Squad.
The looks are special and blends into our kitchen nicely.

Great Microwave, but the exhaust fan is LOUD !!!

Picked this up locally, and installation was fairly easy. At first we thought there was a issue with the keys as they didn't seem too responsive. We learned that you must touch and hold for a second to have it register. No biggie, just have to slow down :-)
One complaint is the exhaust fan noise. It's LOUD. I have it exhausting out the top to the outside of the house. However it's very loud inside. I believe a lot of it is wind noise, because the fan is rated at a very high CFM for over the stove microwaves.
My other complaint is the underside lights. They work great but they get HOT. If left on for a period of time, they will heat up the inside of the microwave. You would of thought they would have used LED's.

Piece of Junk; Don't waste your money or time!

Posted 4 years ago

I purchased this microwave 8 months ago and I have had a lot of problems with it. The timer would stop counting down but continue to cook. I contacted Electolux and had a service guy come out. Service guy says its the door, so a door is ordered. It took 5 doors to come in to finally get one that WASN'T damaged. The new door didn't fix the problem. The new door doesn't read your fingers when you touch it. They ordered a new control mechanism, which fixed this problem. They ordered a new door again because of the touch recognition problem and that didn't fix it. Now to make the microwave work you have to start it up and bang on the front door. This microwave may be expensive but it's a piece of junk! I would never recommend this product to my worst enemy! Don't waste your money!
